Biography
I have been involved in field research on mountain ungulates, galliformes and bears in the Indian Himalaya since 1989. My research interests are the ecology and conservation of wildlife in the mountains; development of field techniques for the study and monitoring of rare and endangered species; and the wildlife of the southern Indian Ocean and Antarctica. I am involved in teaching high altitude ecology, habitat ecology, population ecology and quantitative ecology. I am presently the Co-chair of the South Asian Brown Bear Expert Team and a member of the IUCN/SSC Caprinae, Galliformes and Bear Specialist Groups.
